To investigate the spatial and vertical distribution of atmospheric pollutants (SO₂, NO_x, CO and O₃), aircraft-based measurements (model: Yun-12, 12 flights, 27 h total flight time) were conducted from near the surface up to 2400 m over the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region between June 17th and...

N-doped carbons have attracted extensive attention as catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation towards environmental remediation. However, synthesis of N-rich carbocatalysts is challenging and PMS activation mechanism is still unclear. Herein, novel N-rich porous carbocatalysts (C-P_xCN-T)...

Three new visible-light-induced Z-scheme photocatalytic systems, Er³⁺:Y₃Al₅O₁₂@NiGa₂O₄-WO₃, Er³⁺:Y₃Al₅O₁₂@NiGa₂O₄-MWCNTs (10-20 nm)-WO₃ and Er³⁺:Y₃Al₅O₁₂@NiGa₂O₄-MWCNTs (40-60 nm)-WO₃, are successfully prepared via hydrothermal method . The prepared photocatalysts are characterized by X-ray...

Water contaminated with emerging pollutants has become a serious environmental issue globally. Biochar is a porous and carbon-rich material produced from biomass pyrolysis and has the potential to be used as an integrated adsorptive material. Many studies have shown that biochar is capable to...

There is growing evidence that air pollution plays a role in TB, and most studies have been conducted in the core countries with inconsistent results. Few studies have comprehensively included the six common air pollutants, so they cannot consider whether various pollutants interact with each...

Environmental pollution is a risk factor for kidney dysfunction. However, the combined toxicity of air pollutants on kidney function is scarce. We estimated the relationship between combined toxicity of air pollutants and kidney function among adult women (n=7071, 18-65 years old) in Mianyang...

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging global contaminants, attracting more and more attention because of their difficulty in degradation, extensive and persistent pollution. In freshwater environment, especially in the ocean, they have become a global, public and even political research hotspot....

Air pollution in many countries is worsening with industrialization and urbanization, resulting in climate change and affecting people's health, thus, making the work of policymakers more difficult. It is therefore both urgent and necessary to establish amore scientific air quality monitoring and...

Based on the characteristics of sudden oil spill environmental pollution in a river basin, this paper presented a method for emergency treatment of sudden oil spill environmental pollution in a river basin by analyzing and summarizing a large number of oil spill emergency treatment cases....

Groundwater pollution prevention and control should be given priority to avoid costly remediation since groundwater pollution is invisible, complex, and has long-term impact. Groundwater pollution risk assessment, which refers to the process of determining potential impacts of any pollutant, is an...
